Scientific Background

Mitogen-acitvated protein kinase 6 (MEK6) belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family and the MAPK kinase subfamily (MAP2K, MKK or MEKs). MAPKs require dual phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine residues,

an activation step carried out by MAPK kinase (1). MEK6 is a dual-specificity protein kinase that activates p38 MAPK. MEK6 (MAP2K6), Unactive MEK6 phosphorylates p38 MAP kinase at its activation site Full-length recombinant protein expressed in E.coli cells Thr-Gly-Tyr and this stimulates the ability of p38 MAPK to phosphorylate protein substrates such as ATF-2 and Elk-1. Catalog # M07-14H MEK6 is activated by different forms of cellular stress and Specific # M2961-6b inflammatory (2). Activation of MEK6 occurs via Purity >95% phosphorylation of Ser207 and Thr211 on MEK6 by Concentration 0.2 µg/µl upstream protein . Stability 1yr at –70oC from date of shipment Storage & Shipping Store product at –70oC. For optimal storage, aliquot References target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling 1.
